JSP
Java Server Pages
Softsmith Infotech
1
Java Server Pages
• JSP (Java Server Pages) is an alternate way of creating servlets
– JSP is written as ordinary HTML, with a little Java mixed in
– The Java is enclosed in special tags, such as <% ... %>
– The HTML is known as the template text
• JSP files must have the extension .jsp
– JSP is translated into a Java servlet, which is then compiled
– Servlets are run in the usual way
– The browser or other client sees only the resultant HTML, as
usual
• Tomcat knows how to handle servlets and JSP pages

Jsp Execution

JSP scripting elements
•
There is more than one type of JSP “tag,” depending on what you want
done with the Java
• <%= expression %>
– The expression is evaluated and the result is inserted into the HTML
page
• <% code %>
– The code is inserted into the servlet's service method
– This construction is called a scriptlet
• <%! declarations %>
– The declarations are inserted into the servlet class, not into a method

Example JSP
• <HTML>
<BODY>
Hello! The time is now <%= new java.util.Date() %>
</BODY>
</HTML>
• Notes:
– The <%= ... %> tag is used, because we are computing a value
and inserting it into the HTML
– The fully qualified name (java.util.Date) is used, instead of the
short name (Date), because we haven’t yet talked about how to
do import declarations

Variables
• You can declare your own variables, as usual
• JSP provides several predefined variables
– request : The HttpServletRequest parameter
– response : The HttpServletResponse parameter
– session : The HttpSession associated with the request, or null if
there is none
– out : A JspWriter (like a PrintWriter) used to send output to the
client
• Example:
– Your hostname: <%= request.getRemoteHost() %>

Scriptlets
•
•
Scriptlets are enclosed in <% ... %> tags
– Scriptlets do not produce a value that is inserted directly into the
HTML (as is done with <%= ... %>)
– Scriptlets are Java code that may write into the HTML
– Example:
<% String queryData = request.getQueryString();
out.println("Attached GET data: " + queryData); %>
Scriptlets are inserted into the servlet exactly as written, and are not
compiled until the entire servlet is compiled
– Example:
<% if (Math.random() < 0.5) { %>
Have a <B>nice</B> day!
<% } else { %>
Have a <B>lousy</B> day!
<% } %>

Declarations
• Use <%! ... %> for declarations to be added to your servlet class, not
to any particular method
– Caution: Servlets are multithreaded, so nonlocal variables must
be handled with extreme care
– If declared with <% ... %>, variables are local and OK
– Data can also safely be put in the request or session objects
• Example:
<%! private int accessCount = 0; %>
Accesses to page since server reboot:
<%= ++accessCount %>
• You can use <%! ... %> to declare methods as easily as to declare
variables

Directives
• Directives affect the servlet class itself
• A directive has the form:
<%@ directive attribute="value" %>
or
<%@ directive attribute1="value1"
attribute2="value2"
...
attributeN="valueN" %>
• The most useful directive is page, which lets you import
packages
– Example: <%@ page import="java.util.*" %>

JSP Comments
• Different from HTML comments.
• HTML comments are visible to client.

• JSP comments are used for documenting JSP code .
• JSP comments are not visible client-side.
<%-- a JSP comment --%>

The include directive
• The include directive inserts another file into the file being parsed
– The included file is treated as just more JSP, hence it can
include static HTML, scripting elements, actions, and directives
• Syntax: <%@ include file="URL " %>
– The URL is treated as relative to the JSP page
– If the URL begins with a slash, it is treated as relative to the
home directory of the Web server
• The include directive is especially useful for inserting things like
navigation bars

11
Actions
• Actions are XML-syntax tags used to control the servlet engine
• <jsp:include page="URL " />
– Inserts the indicated relative URL at execution time (not at
compile time, like the include directive does)
– This is great for rapidly changing data
• <jsp:forward page="URL" />
<jsp:forward page="<%= JavaExpression %>" />
– Jump to the (static) URL or the (dynamically computed)
JavaExpression resulting in a URL

JSP in XML
• JSP can be embedded in XML as well as in HTML
• Due to XML’s syntax rules, the tags must be different
(but they do the same things)
• HTML: <%= expression %>
XML: <jsp:expression>expression</jsp:expression>
• HTML: <% code %>
XML: <jsp:scriptlet>code</jsp:scriptlet>
• HTML: <%! declarations %>
XML: <jsp:declaration>declarations</jsp:declaration>
• HTML: <%@ include file=URL %>
XML: <jsp:directive.include file="URL"/>

Action – useBean tag
• The useBean action tag is the most commonly used
tag because of its powerful features.
• It allows a JSP to create an instance or receive an
instance of a Java Bean.
• It is used for creating or instantiating a bean with a specific
name and scope.
• Examples
• <jsp:useBean id=“time" scope="session"
class="com.time.CurrentTimeBean" />

Session in jsp
• In session management whenever a request comes for any
resource, a unique token is generated by the server and
transmitted to the client by the response object and stored on the
client machine as a cookie.
Session management
(i) Session Object
(ii) Cookies
(iii) Hidden Form Fields
(iv) URL Rewriting

Javascript

16
JavaScript language
• The JavaScript language is an interpreted, object oriented based
scripting language.
• JavaScript coding statements are commonly embedded inside a
webpage using the HTML tags <SCRIPT> </SCRIPT>.
• When the web browser is rendering the webpage, any JavaScript
coding statements encountered are immediately interpreted and run
before the rendering continues.

17
Where to use JavaScript
• Verify the end user input data contains legitimate data values.
• Handle any arithmetic or logic processing that needs to be executed
on the web browser.
• Directly manipulate the web browser objects such as the status bar,
address bar, and the web browser's rendered controls (such as
textboxes, selection lists, etc...).
• Handle and process client-side events that have been generated.

How to run JavaScripts
•
JavaScript statements are interpreted and run by the web browser
•
Most common web browsers contain a JavaScript interpreter program
–
interpret and run the JavaScript commands that have been embedded
inside a webpage.
Question1: In a web application, which entity executes JSPs?
Question2: In a web application, which entity executes JavaScript commands?

JavaScript programming example
<HTML>
2 <HEAD><TITLE> JavaScript Example1 </TITLE></HEAD>
3 <BODY>
4 <H1>Javascript Example1</H1>
5 An alert box will appear using the window object <br>
6
7 <SCRIPT>
8 window.alert("hello world");
9 </SCRIPT>
10
11 Goodbye!

13 </BODY>
14 </HTML>

Events
An event is an identifiable occurrence or action that has taken place in
the system. Writing programs that generate and handle events is
known as event programming.
Events are typically generated in the following ways.
• GUI programs can generate an event to indicate there has been
some interaction between the widget and the end user.
– when an end user presses a button, a click event is generated.
• Input/output programs can generate an event to indicate an
input/output event has occurred.
– A mouse event is generated when the end user moves the
mouse.

Binding Events

Binding Events
In client side web programming, the web browser contains
it's own event listener.
Therefore you must do two things
in order to process an event that has been generated.
1. Write the code that binds the event to the event handler.
2. Write the code for the event handler.

Common web browser events
Event
Description
click
Used to indicate an entity (usually a control) has been clicked
submit
Used to indicate the submit button has been pushed
mouseover
Used to indicate the mouse cursor has been moved over the entity. Typically the entity is a control
or an anchor.
mouseout
Used to indicate the mouse cursor has been moved away from the entity. Typically the entity is a
control or an anchor.
load
Used to indicate the webpage has been completely parsed and loaded into the web browser.
unload
Used to indicate the webpage has been unloaded from the web browser. Unloading a webpage
occurs when the web browser is about to load another webpage. The unload event is the last event
that will be generated from the current webpage before the next webpage is loaded. When the web
Softsmith
24
browser is closed or exited, the unload
eventInfotech
is not generated.
